Two of Hollywood's most sculpted leading men may be paired next fall on Broadway. According to the New York Post, James Bond star Daniel Craig and Wolverine leading man Hugh Jackman are reportedly teaming up on Broadway later this year in the new drama A Steady Rain by Keith Huff. The two are expected to play two Chicago cops, friends since childhood, whose lives take divergent paths after an unnerving incident.
The Chicago Tribune called the play an "exceptionally rich, gritty and emotional drama ... it will get you right where you live," while the Chicago Sun-Times cheered its "action-packed storytelling."
The play will be a return to the Broadway stage for Hugh, who has hosted several Tony Awards and has an extensive theater background. He won a Tony for starring in the 2004 musical The Boy From Oz. The drama will also mark Daniel's Broadway debut.
Barbara Broccoli, the daughter of Bond producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli, is set to produce the play. She has worked in the Bond franchise for most of her adult life and recently produced Casino Royale, and Quantum of Solace.
